Behavioral intervention with task repetition compared to pharmacological intervention with SSRI for enhancement of cognitive control in emotional and non-emotional settings.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

Cognitive control is crucial for optimal daily functioning and for emotional well-being. Cognitive control has been shown to be modified by experimental manipulations under widely differing experimental conditions, including cognitive training, and pharmacological intervention mainly probing catecholaminergic systems with little focus on the serotonergic system.

Objectives

To explore the role of serotonin on cognitive control in emotional and non-emotional settings.

Methods

Behavioral, electrodermal and prefrontal activity measures were evaluated to compare the effects of single-session task repetition and single-dose serotonergic intervention with escitalopram on cognitive control in healthy participants, using cognitive and emotional Stroop tasks.
